All things considered, sweep wasn't that much to ask for. Maybe a bit much going up against Clayton Kershaw. The lineup couldn't solve that puzzle, but Drew Pomeranz gave the Friars every chance in the world.
In the month of April, Drew kept his ERA sub-3 and threw no less than 6 innings, providing a 4-hit shutout against the Pirates. For his first start of May, Pomz straight dealt for seven innings against the Dodgers. He struck out 5 and only allowed 3 hits. In an awful irony, one of those hits ended up being an RBI by Kershaw.
